Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Defeat You with Just One Move! Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Defeat You with Just One Move! Huang Xiaolong was the least afraid of the Qingcheng Sect?
Well, this statement is genuinely no act of pretension!
Yes, back in the day, the biggest talent of the Qingcheng Sect who eventually became a super tycoon, Dugu Hong, was a late-stage Heavenly Law Avatar realm figure. Huang Xiaolong had refined the last remnant of his soul and inherited all his lifelong learning!
In other words, if Huang Xiaolong were to fight in Dugu Hong’s style, it would be equivalent to a late-stage Heavenly Law Avatar realm titan of the perennial Qingcheng Sect battling!
In fact, if Dugu Hong hadn’t fallen and failed in the internal power struggles within the Qingcheng Sect, he would most likely be the Sect Master of the Sect by now! He might even have become an immortal, eternally indestructible!
This genius of the Qingcheng Sect, “Cang Luan,” although ranked fifth on the Hidden Dragon List, could never match the glory of Dugu Hong no matter how demonic his talents might be!
Moreover, Cang Luan was practicing the Cultivation Techniques of the Qingcheng Sect, which Huang Xiaolong was extremely familiar with. Let’s put it this way, even if he were blindfolded, closed off his divine sense, and merely used the sound of the wind to judge position, Huang Xiaolong could accurately determine which moves Cang Luan was using, what the following moves would be, what hidden techniques were involved, identify the flaws, and easily defeat him!
Do not be fooled by Cang Luan’s high ranking; in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, he was even easier to deal with than Mo Shaoxin and Xia Ding!
For Cang Luan to make a move in front of Huang Xiaolong was like bringing an ax to the door of a master carpenter!
“How is it that, having just made a big show and humiliated the Emei Sect, now you want to step on our Qingcheng Sect?” Cang Luan, slowly walking towards the arena with a mocking and icy gaze, stared at Huang Xiaolong. “Thinking of stepping over the Qingcheng Sect to gain fame across the world? Nice thought, but unfortunately, you’ve miscalculated your moves.”
As he spoke, Cang Luan had stepped onto the arena, facing Huang Xiaolong. His robe flapped about, and his long hair danced in the air like a heavenly god. “Admittedly, based on your performance just now, you are indeed a genius. However… with deep cunning, the way you killed Ji Chuchen was particularly despicable. First, you deliberately exposed his weakness, then made Ji Chuchen lose his mind, and finally, used ghostly techniques to ignite his inner fire, making him lose without fighting. Despicable, utterly despicable. If it were a fair fight, you probably wouldn’t stand a chance against Ji Chuchen. Others might not see your tricky spidery tactics, but they can’t escape my notice, Cang Luan!”
Cang Luan spoke eloquently and unhurriedly, his demeanor composed, his words substantial. Indeed, he appeared to be a rare talent, slightly better than Ji Chuchen.
As everyone knows, ranking in the top five of the Hidden Dragon List marks a watershed. That is to say, there’s a vast difference between the top five geniuses and those behind them.
Even Ji Chuchen, ranked sixth and only just one place behind, differs significantly in level compared to the top five.
Initially somewhat effervescent, the spectator stands now quieted down again.
The challenge continues!
One of the top five geniuses wants to fight Huang Xiaolong! This is another fierce battle! Moreover, having heard Cang Luan’s analysis, many people realized that Huang Xiaolong’s victory over Ji Chuchen involved trickery! It wasn’t a demonstration of true strength! To put it nicely, it was an intellectual victory; to put it harshly, it was a dishonorable win!
Now, with Cang Luan stepping forward to suppress Huang Xiaolong, the vast majority began to favor Cang Luan.
Duanmu Wei almost clasped his hands together in prayer. “Little brother, you are too powerful! It’s unbelievable that you could be this strong~~~ Not only did you make it into the top ten, but you are also challenging the top five~~ Can you do it? Can you create a miracle again? I look forward~~ But, this Cang Luan is not so easy to deal with! In the last Hidden Dragon List contest, Ji Chuchen challenged Cang Luan’s rank and ended up defeated by Cang Luan’s three swords! Thoroughly convincingly defeated!”
Indeed, Cang Luan was potent. In the last tournament, he defeated the peak-condition Ji Chuchen with three strokes! And this time, Cang Luan’s spirit and vigor had evidently improved a lot, showing remarkable progress!
If Huang Xiaolong underestimated Cang Luan, he was bound to suffer!
In the Bronze Palace where the elder Lan Yue resided.
“Hahaha~~~ Little Long! Strong! Incredibly strong!” Elder Lan Yue burst out in a relieved laugh.
Led by the red-bearded elder, several tycoons who had been arguing and betting with Elder Lan Yue were now pale and visibly frustrated.
“Hahaha~~ You said if Little Long defeats Ji Chuchen, I lose this ‘Phoenix Pill’ to you~~~ Now, I shall brazenly accept it!” Lan Yue, with a face full of delight, grabbed the pill.
The red-bearded elder’s face showed an expression as if he had just had flesh cut from him.
“What, do you want to continue betting?” Lan Yue goaded.
“Damn it!” the red-bearded elder cursed loudly, “Just lucky! That kid is too cunning and scheming! He twists and turns in his mind. Such people can only be proud for a moment. His future is doomed to failure! There’s no way he can be a match for Cang Luan! Cang Luan is the true monster!”
“How about, we bet again?” Lan Yue squinted slightly.
“Bet! Who’s afraid! In that case, this time, if that kid defeats Cang Luan again, I’ll lose the Flame Mountain’s strongest heritage to you!” the red-bearded elder exclaimed like a gambler blinded by obsession!
…
The palace where the Shushan Sword Sect was located.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it felt like one could squeeze water out of it.
The elders and higher-ups of the Shushan Sect all wore sullen expressions.
“How preposterous, how preposterous! This scoundrel is making such a big splash!”
“No matter. He won’t be arrogant for much longer. For now, let him boast to his heart’s content.” Behind the muslin curtain, the tone of the Shushan Sect Master also grew slightly angry. “No wonder he dares to kill our Shushan disciples and even killed my son. He does have some skill, but he’s still not fit to be our Shushan Sect’s archenemy~~~ Send a message to Nangong Hong to make a move against this child soon. Now, while this child is in the spotlight, crushing him underfoot will raise Nangong Hong’s prestige to the peak. It’s laughable. Everything this child has done is nothing but a stepping stone for Nangong Hong to reach the ultimate peak!”
…
On the arena.
Cang Luan stood still, and above his head suddenly descended countless sword lights, splattering continuously, and each splash was filled with spectacular visions, giving Cang Luan an aura as if a celestial was descending to the mundane world.
The spectators in the stands were mesmerized by Cang Luan’s heroic stance, clapping their hands in approval.
For a moment, applause thundered like rain.
Conversely, Huang Xiaolong seemed plain and unremarkable, standing silently with a mocking smile in his eyes.

“Last time, Ji Chuchen barely managed to block my three swords. But I have improved rapidly. This year, Ji Chuchen can barely block a single sword of mine.” Cang Luan’s lips curled into a cruel smile. “You are a genius, I won’t deny. There has always been this saying since ancient times, that heaven is jealous of the talented. Personally, I disagree. The so-called talented are just too boastful. For instance, you are too boastful, and I really don’t like you! Alright, I’ll let you make three moves first!”
Letting him make three moves first!
Cang Luan was indeed terribly arrogant, ignoring Huang Xiaolong, but this arrogance was based on his strong ability and talent!
Huang Xiaolong chuckled playfully. “No need to let me make moves. Hmm, I will defeat you with one move. Yes, you heard me right, defeat you with just one move, and that’s all!”
